Extreme positions on AI miss the point. @hlntnr.bsky.social calls out the issues with ‘elite intelligentsia’ ridiculing the concerns of regular folks’ about building smarter than human computers
Everyone is trying to automate AI Machine Learning Engineering work – and if this is achieved, it’s over for China.
We wouldn’t bet on U.S. big tech failing. #researchsky #ai #artificialintelligence #podcast

Are the timelines to AGI ridiculous? And is AI 2027 a load of rubbish? @hlntnr.bsky.social gives her opinion #academisky #podcast #artificialintelligence #AGI
China's AI+ strategy is focused on application in specific industries, rather than pouring billions of dollars in the hope we achieve superintelligence.
Is the U.S. strategy actually a recipe for disaster if the bubble pops?

@hlntnr.bsky.social explains the Chinese AI strategy. They’re actually focused on harnessing AI to drive economic activity, rather than driving a huge investment bubble.
People don’t appreciate that AI adoption is a real competition too – it’s not all about who reaches AGI first.
The most advanced model doesn’t mean America will necessarily win.
@hlntnr.bsky.social makes a great point – China is focused on adoption – not achieving AGI.

@hlntnr.bsky.social is right – it has been exaggerated how much of a let-down GPT-5 was. If you have been in the field for 10 years you know that everything has pretty much been an incremental improvement #academsky #gpt5
Does China care about the risks of AI? Why does the U.S. gov comparatively freakout so much more about the risks of AI - is it just an excuse to regulate and restrict tech companies? @hlntnr.bsky.social
TOMORROW ON AOT: Helen Toner sits down with our hosts to discuss China and the US' race for AI dominance. Is the US losing? Stay tuned for a rare inside scoop and join in the conversation! @hlntnr.bsky.social

Is AI really on an exponential curve, or is that hype?
@garymarcus.bsky.social argues GPT-5 proves the curve has flattened. Scaling isn’t delivering exponential gains anymore and the field is shifting to smaller or hybrid models.
Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai

Everyone's talking about #TillyNorwood and the rise of the "AI Actress". In the latest episode of AOT we spoke to @garymarcus.bsky.social about whether actors are at threat from AI, take a listen #ai #aiactor #podcastclip

Are you an AI "skeptic"?
On the latest episode of Agents of Tech @garymarcus.bsky.social argues he isn’t against AI at all, but as a scientist, he pushes back on hype and false claims. His critique isn’t anti-AI, it’s pro-truth.

Has the scaling paradigm finally hit a wall?
Gary Marcus says GPT-5 wasn’t the leap everyone expected. Chips, energy, data… all are hitting limits.
Is AI running out of road or just pausing until the next breakthrough?

Have we made AI sound scarier than it really is?
Professor Charlotte Deane breaks it down: AI is just a mathematical tool. The real challenge (and opportunity) is in how we test it, train it, and trust ourselves to question the results #ai #artificialintelligence #research #podcast

The best part of being an academic? Working with students.
On Agents of Tech, Professor Charlotte Deane shares why she loves the fresh perspective students bring, challenging assumptions, asking new questions, and seeing the world differently.

#ai models can be powerful, but they also fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. For Professor Charlotte Deane, those failures aren’t just mistakes, they’re signals that reveal what data is missing and how to make models stronger. #podcast #aimodels #artificalintelligence
“We are the third best country in the world at AI… that’s incredible. Start there.”
Live from ISMB/ECCB, Professor Charlotte Deane reflects on the 'AI race' - is it really about competition? And does the UK have a true strategic advantage?

AI can’t work without data. OpenBind could spark the next revolution in AI drug discovery, building the datasets we need to predict how small molecules bind to proteins.

“While a human might read a few papers a week, AI agents can read thousands”. Are AI tools building a broader, faster consensus than any human can?

Can we really trust AI scientists?
If we don’t have enough human experts to collaborate, how will we ever have enough to verify what AI comes up with?
AOT spoke with Stanford's Prof. @jameszou.bsky.social to find out more.

Should AI be allowed as an author of scientific papers?
Right now, top journals won’t accept AI as a co-author. At ISMB/ECCB we found out how Stanford Prof. James Zou is flipping the script: could this open the door to more transparency and innovation? @iscb.bsky.social
